Local new had these figures from UCHealth from a week or so ago. What ever common news sources I get promote certain numbers showing how much less risk there is for vaccinated people, but I don't see many recent specifics on actual breakthroughs or categorization by age or time since vaccinations. There are some things out there but at least for me has required some digging. There was a footnote after the numbers saying most of the breakthroughs with more serious conditions are people with weakened immunity from other health problems, such as cancer or organ transplant. I have wondered if the break though issues are soft sold to encourage people to get vaccinated. It doesn't seem like a free ride totally without risk at least.
